The University of Texas is DB-U. Coach Duane Akina has 10 of his former pupils earning NFL paychecks, several of whom are legitimate stars in the league. However, the golden portal from Joe Jamail Field to Sunday stadiums is far from limited to the secondary. With the recent retirement of Ricky Williams and 7 sure-fire draft picks or rookie free agents making the leap this year, that still leaves 58 Longhorns active in the NFL.

So, even if you're not a 4 or 5 star DB, you still have a very real chance to ride Bevo to greener pastures. Even if your future in burnt orange is merely deep snapping, then Cullen Loeffler can be your ideal. We have a glorious U, a U that values family and top-notch education and maintains a high level of integrity and professionalism while staying ahead of the cutting edge in virtually every area. But really, we have an NFL-U. And that, good people, is the bottom line of recruiting.
